Worship & Worry
April 9th, 2000 Posted in IntrospectionThis morning during church I decided what I was going to write here tonight. After filling out a church survey on worship I decided it was time for a little tirade on worship. I was going to type up my dissertation on worship for you all to read. But I don’t feel very worshipful right now, and reflecting on something I’m lacking in seems like a waste of time. Perhaps I’m just running from the problem, but not tonight.
Have you ever felt like life has you down? The immutable weight of the future is crushing your spine and you just don’t want to take it anymore. Melancholy. Pessimism. Depression. It’s really not that severe, it just feels like it. There’s just a lot of unknowns looming on the horizon and I really wish they’d become knowns. I suppose that’s why Jesus told us not to worry. If the lily of the field is clothed in all its splendor then surely God will see that I’m taken care of. It’s a good Sunday School answer, but I still worry.
